SINGLE or double-breasted, plain or striped? These are only a few things that need to be considered when choosing the best suit for men.

And it’s not only the shape and fabric you need to decide on, but the occasion as well. Whether you need a new suit for the office, a black-tie event, or a wedding or other special occasion will all inform the type of design you buy.

When looking for inspiration from the stars, Dev Patel shows one of the most classic options: a grey single-breasted design - it’s the sort of piece that would work anywhere, from the office to a smart event.

While Tom Hiddleston also opted for classic grey, he takes things up a notch with a double-breasted jacket with broad peak lapels and a window pane check weave.

It’s a small change that has a big impact on the outfit, looking a lot more dapper and formal.

Another idea for amping up your suiting comes from Ryan Gosling, who picked one in a dark green shade - a nice way to dress for a smart event or party and break away from boring black.

Whatever your style or occasion, find the best men’s suit for you below.
